What a beautiful job of piloting. This crew is worthy of a step up to the main line.

Everyone who suggests a computer could fly the plane from take off to landing should watch this landing and they will realize good piloting requires a heartbeat.

The CBS website has a video of the landing, the crew did a fantastic job keeping the plane on the centerline.

I'm sure some of the passengers were shaken up by the experience, but you couldn't ask for a better outcome under the circumstances.

One of the PAX on CBS said landing was smoother than many "NORMAL" she had been in.

The pilots did a great job on this flight and should be commended.... However, knowing the CRJ200 as well as I do, and even writing a training course for the company that I worked for at the time and was required course with test for all mechanics in the company... This is a complicated gear system, but by the same token it is a very reliable gear. There are no gear doors on that plane (CRJ 200). Only thing that I can think of is something failed in the Manual Extension (maybe a cable broke). When the gear is up, the Hydraulics to the actuator is pressurized and the gear is basically just hanging onto the hook.. you pull the cable, and the hook releases the gear and it falls down... Very simple system.

I didn't run it down but CBS said it was a 700

They are totally incorrect...

1 picture shows no leading edge devices (FOX NEWS), and CBS below shows CRJ 200 engines (very distinctive). Note the tail number as being N932SW and per the FAA the aircraft is a CL-600-2B19 wich is a CRJ-200. (http://registry.faa.gov/aircraftinquiry/NNum_Results.aspx?omni=Home-N-Number&nNumberTxt=932SW)

The CRJ-700 has much different engines, leading edge slats, and is a model CL-600-2C10

Great job by the pilots! Of course it helped that they were flying the very ROBUST and forgiving BOMBARDIER CRJ! Had this occurred with another air-frame I am not so sure that the outcome would have been so positive.

Whatever happened to "foaming" the runway?

FD elected not to, primarily on account of one gear not down and so pilot could maintain control.

Proper training followed by use of proper proper procedures = Essentially, a non-issue.

Well, except for the cost of repairs to that belly and wing. It might have been a little more "fun" were it a 737 or similar.

It was a belly landing, a very good one. The term was used on CBS twice to describe the event. BTW, I wrote the headline on the article I submitted to FA.

"Belly landing"? No. Emergency landing? Yes. Nowhere in any media I've read has this been reported as a belly landing.

Skywest plane gear collapse at LAZ

A United Express plane made a hard landing Monday morning at Los Angeles International Airport after a landing gear collapsed.
SkyFOX captured the jetliner landing on LAX Runway 24 without the back left landing gear deployed.

I have seen different stories, one it did not fully extend, two it did not extend, or three it collapsed on landing... Something does not feel right on this... Will have to find out what really happened.

Apparently it did not extend. CBS National this morning had some ATC where it flew by tower for a visual and came in without an extension.

That makes more since... The crew was too prepared for this landing.
